FYI, Headcheese (or Brawn) is made from the skull, cheeks, tongue, ears and brains of a pig (usually, occasionally a calf or sheep). You boil the lot in a bit pot with pepper, Jamaica pepper, saltpetre, a carrot and an onion until it falls to bits. Then you put it in a jar and weight it down, leave it in the fridge for a week, and throw it away. It's great after a heavy night on the town...
